Note for GMs

If your game has pre-generated characters, please take a look at their demographics. If the pre-gens are mostly straight white men, ask yourself why. If that's what's required by the scenario, fine. If not, please include more diversity in the characters.

If you game involves content that some people might find upsetting, please note that in the game blurb.

If you don't want someone at your table, you have every right to ask them to leave, at any time. You don't have to provide a reason, but please try to remain civil. Ask an organiser to step in if it's needed.

During a game, if you notice that one person's behaviour is making someone else uncomfortable, please don't ignore it. Do something about it. Take note of the harassment policy.

The GenCon Games on Demand advice and parts of How to Run Safer, Accessible, and Inclusive Game Conventions go into much more detail, even if it is rather US-centric.

The Games

Note that, depending on circumstances, not all of these games may run on the day.

Morning

Call of Cthulhu: Saturnine Chalice

Out in the wild and hilly region to the west of Arkham, miles from any town or village, there stands a lonely house. Hardly anyone uses the backroads off the Aylesbury Pike that would bring them here anymore - but now, a van has run out of fuel outside the house. The occupants, five armed robbers that held up the Arkham First Bank that morning, are fleeing from the police. As the sun sets, they can see the lights come on inside the house - one, by one...

Scum and Villainy: Firefly

Find a crew, find a job, keep flying. You've got the first part sorted, but the rest is proving troublesome due to not having a ship. But that could be about to change. A Firefly class transport has been spotted on the drift in the skies above Dyton. Word is it's in pretty good shape. At worst, it's worth a pile of credits in salvage, and at best it could still be spaceworthy. This could be your ticket to independence. You just have to get there first.

GM: Sue Savage

Players: 2-6

Symbaroum: Belle of the Ball

Zombie World : Unworld Amusements

Zombie World is a card-based tabletop roleplaying game of survivors fighting against the living and the dead for their own place in the world. The game is designed for easy, quick, and intense play.

When the zombie plague started you were lucky enough to get holded up in Funworld! The most second rate theme park in the tri-state area! Now you arent even sure who you have ended up in here with, some of the inhabitants seem weirder and more dangerous than the dead. Hold on, keep your servered arms inside the cart at all times, its going to be a bumpy ride.

Zombie World has its roots in the Powered by the Apocalypse but it takes that system in new directions, using special cards to generate characters, create situations, and resolve conflicts. Making a new character takes minutes: you draw a few cards, and you’re ready to go.
